“Seaside” is the name of part of the A259 (continuing from “Seaside Road”!).

‘[R.S.] Thomas carried his hatred of the modern world to seemingly absurd lengths… His son said, “As a vicar’s son I was obliged to attend church and to listen to him drone on about the evils of fridges… It was the Machine, you see…” – tinyurl.com/bddp3ved #rageAgainstTheMachine

When will Bluesky please stop pssting off users of the Web interface? Here’s Support’s reply 🤖 3 months ago to a submitted list of 6 reasons why the “Psst!” pop-up was a bad UI mistake. The only change since then has been that the list has grown. 😉 @support.bsky.team @bsky.app

“We appreciate your feedback, and it has been shared with our team, who are constantly working on improving the platform by adding new features and enhancing existing ones to better the user experience.”

Eastbourne Pier today, and views from it towards Beachy Head and Hastings.

Towards Beachy Head, from Eastbourne Pier.

On Eastbourne seafront today: two splashes of floral colour plus the now familiar scrubland theme.

In our opinion, you should NOT eat the seagulls! A sign outside “Favo’Loso”, Carlisle Road, Eastbourne, today.

Sign saying “Seagulls Flying / Eat at your own risk”.

“Enjoyed this story?” Who are we talking about?

Beachy Head Radio@beachyheadradio· Feb 24

The obvious response…

A British postal stamp with a well known line from the comedy series ‘Porridge’: “I read a book once. Green, it was”.

Mixcloud gets serious in its new blog post: “Flicking through a vinyl sleeve or album notes is great. But have you ever read a book?”

Beachy Head Radio@beachyheadradio· Feb 1

We realise that any success in Mixcloud’s charts is less significant than, say, doing well in a seaside knobbly knees competition, but we are nevertheless pleased to see our most recent music shows finding more listeners (and vice versa)! Please follow: www.mixcloud.com/BeachyHeadRa... 👍 #kneedy

Noted! @toxicchicken.bsky.social went with “gliiin–” (rhyming with “fine”)... I would have said “glin”... but it’s “gleen”... and that’s “moog” rhyming with “Robert Moog” and “rogue” and not “The Plastic Cow Goes Moooooog”, yes? ... On behalf of the BHR Pronunciation Department!

Beachy Head Radio@beachyheadradio· Dec 10

I do wish @bsky.app would stop pssting.

A Bluesky pop-up that reads “Psst! You can edit who can interact with this post.”

Beachy Head Radio@beachyheadradio· Nov 24

Thanks, that was actually a new one to me. Who needs crackers at Xmas with material like that?

I bet Bill Withers would have laughed. “Haaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

It seems now that the reason for the late start and some dropouts was actually a dying external hard drive which was not in use but which was doing something nasty to the USB bus. It has now been kicked off the bus and things seem alright now! 🤞 #RadioOnTheEdge

A bus goes over a cliff. From the television series ‘The Young Ones’.

The email from Southern Water also invites the public to visit the ‘Your Water Matters’ event in Eastbourne tomorrow:

Perhaps we should pass the hat around! #SantaDog

Santa Dog! Santa Dog! A corgi with a Christmas hat roughly superimposed.

Beachy Head Radio@beachyheadradio· Oct 27

The graphics for pet products on Amazon are often jaw-dropping, aren’t they.

“The cat sat on the mat”? No, it had to be superimposed. The dog didn’t want to sit there either.

Beachy Head Radio@beachyheadradio· Oct 27

Christmas fever has hit Amazon…

A very convincing image of a mat and a tiny cat and a tiny dog. A festive hat is floating in front of the top of the dog’s head.

With apologies to @tinyreddragons.bsky.social, who is a reformed character these days… maybe… 😜

The ‘Protect and Survive’ booklet, free jazz edition.

Avian police would like to interview this cat that was seen here two days ago. “What..?”

A black cat with a white feather stuck to its face. Somehow. Maybe the wind blew it there. Yes.
